Logic Apps PG 1:1 meeting

I had thre pleasure to exchange in a 1 to 1 meeting of 30 minutes with Azure Logic Apps PG and especially with Divya Swarnkar.

Main points of this exchange:

-Some of my financials clients where data must reside only within their sites, are not encouraged to migrate their Biztalk flows to Azure. With the new Logic Apps : Azure function runtime,a workflow can be hosted on a a Docker container, so the clients can use their infra. But how about using enterprise connectors ?

=>To have only running on the local runtime, only « Built-in connectors » must be used, Azure connectors run only on Azure, so connection/data crosses Azure network to connect to partners. The good news is that the list of Buil-in connectors can grow-up depending the need of the usage and Divya suggest what kind of connectors is highly used and my answer is : at least the connectors provided by Biztalk: SAP, File, FTP/SFTP, MQSeries

So far,available »Built-in » connectors are:

-As a baby Biztalk, i’m comparing what was offered by Biztalk to plan how existing solutions can be upgraded to Logic Apps , and what can be the alternative of BAM for business monitoring ?

=>For business monitoring, Azure log Analytics data can be used. Within the workflow we can define Tracked properties on actions (equivalent to Biztalk promoted properties) and they will be injected and retrived by queries on log analytics data

Finally, I want to thanks LA PG team for this great initiative and encourage them to keep this kind of short 1:1 exchanges.
